The second phase of the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) is about to get underway. The tournament, which witnessed an abrupt suspension, resumes on May 17, with RCB taking on KKR at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Meanwhile, there are several players who have opted out of the tournament, which was paused due to the India-Pakistan border tensions. As the IPL 2025 is set for a restart, here are three withdrawn players who could be released ahead of the next season.
1. Jake Fraser-McGurk - DC

Swashbuckling Australian batter Jake Fraser-McGurk was purchased by Delhi Capitals for a whopping price of INR 9 Crores.
Fraser-McGurk, who starred with the bat last season, was a massive failure this time, managing only 55 runs across six outings at a horrible average of 9.17.
So, considering he failed to live up to the expectations, DC might release Fraser-McGurk to the auction pool. If they want him in their squad, they can try to get him at a lower price instead of spending nine crores for him.
Veteran English all-rounder Moeen Ali grabbed the attention of Kolkata Knight Riders, who purchased him for INR 2 Crores in the mega auction. Recently, Moeen opted out of the remainder of IPL 2025 due to personal reasons.
However, the 37-year-old could score only five runs across two innings while picking up only six wickets at a poor economy of 8.50. He wasn't even a regular in KKR's playing XI and it won't be surprising if the franchise decides to release him after their underwhelming IPL 2025 campaign.
3. Jamie Overton - CSK

England's premier fast-bowling allrounder Jamie Overton was nowhere close to his best in the IPL 2025. Overton, who bagged a lucrative IPL 2025 deal worth INR 1.5 Crores, could score only 15 runs with the bat.
Despite bowling six overs, Overton failed to scalp a single wicket while conceding 83 runs at a horrible economy of 13.83.
So, CSK might decide to release him and revamp their squad following a disastrous run in the IPL 2025.
